Should I break up with my boyfriend
Hi there, kinda nervous to post.
My boyfriend 21M and myself 20F have been dating a year. A couple days ago we were at the gym and I was worried because he was about to lift a lot and I was nervous he’d hurt himself. I made a scared face in the mirror which he saw and put down the weight. He asked what I was making the face for and I said “never mind keep going”. He kept asking why I made the face so I jokingly said “are you scared to lift the weight” kind of mocking him but in a banter way like we usually act towards each other. He then said something along the lines of “I’m not scared buddy” and we go into what I thought was funny banter, being playful with one another. I then grab his shirt in a flirty way and something in him snapped and the instantly put his hand around my throat tightly for a split second and said “dont fucking touch me”. He then didn’t speak to me for a while until he wanted to go home. Tonight we spoke about it and he said he doesn’t remember and that he thinks he has anger problems. I’m conflicted because I don’t know if I brought it on myself by mistaking flirty banter with actual anger.
Please let me know🙏
